I will never complain about the weather again!

What an obedient horse! Mine would have started crabbing with his bum to the wind when it started, and probably would have lay down in surrender long before the end ! :)
 
Even when almost getting blown over he barely reacted. What an amazing horse and well done to the rider to carry on when the weather made it impossible to hear the music. Quite how the judges managed to judge that one I don't know - they can't have been able to see half of what was going on!
 
OMG ... That's amazing. Much respect to them both for pulling it off and keeping going, even when the horse was nearly blown off course by the wind!
 
christ, respect indeed :eek3:

Don't think Christ can help here.

Anyway some deserves a carrot!! And somebody else a towel. Did wonder if they could get the halt in that weather because I think that's the best test in obedience I think.
They didn't really but think they can be forgiven!
 
I thought the weather had been bad here...big kudos to the rider and her gangly ponio :D

(Skip to about 5 mins if you want to get to the good bit asap :D)

I so wonder what it said on their score sheet... Does anyone know how you say "Pity your horse nearly got blown out of the arena" in Russian?
